Turnstone Turning Seaweeds
There was a large mixed flock of small shorebirds at East Beach, Fort DeSoto Park. There were adult and juvenile, male and female, winter and breeding plumages of many species, which made identification a heavy task as they all scurried, flew, or turned away. But there were a few Ruddy Turnstones (as in the picture) that, true to their name, were engaged in turning things over, looking for breakfast morsels.
